WR Gabe Davis, BUF (1 Viewer)

Didn't play him the first 5 weeks thinking he's going to bust because he's always been either all or nothing but then, lo and behold, he performs like a champ in weeks 2-5! Decided to slot him in for week 6 thinking he's finally turned a corner and he lays a turd. Then I figured, "That was just one game, I'll give him another chance". Laid and even bigger turd in Week 7. Now, clearly frustrated and in "I freakin' knew he was going to do this" mode, I pulled him out of my lineup for Week 8 in favor of Javonte Williams and, sure enough, he explodes for 97 yards and a TD.

17.9 points sitting on my bench. This guy is killing me.

That is all.

I'm at least glad we can be miserable together. 🍻

Started him last week and he had one reception, so I started Pickens this week over him
 
Gabe is the absolute classic case of got to keep him in the lineup every single week. Get the all the ups along with the downs. I guess this can depend on what role he is fulfilling in your starting lineup, I’ve got him as a one of 3 flexes in two dynasty leagues and have had him in every single week as he’s shown he will hit paydirt regularly now. I’ll concede it might be more of a dilemma is he is your potential WR2-3
 
I don't see how you can trust Davis in the playoffs since he's thrown up 3 goose eggs since week 9.
 
My only other option is Joshua Palmer. My opponent is starting Allen and I’m a big favorite so Davis could cancel points from Allen. But the goose eggs scare me too. Just thinking it out.
 
This is the first time I’ve been at not wanting to buy him. 0 points in multiple weeks. That is hard to stomach if you do play him.
In the past I would have been willing to pay late first/2nds. Now I would probably grab him from the wire, but wouldn't pay for him.
 
Do we trust Gabe Davis in week 16?
Trust? No.
Plan to use him over guys like Njigba or Brandon Cooks? Perhaps
Hmm. I have him IN over JSN. I’d rather some points over the zero. Can Gabe really post 3 goose eggs in a row?
I'll going on record here and say this is the week he gets at least one point.
Doesn't this belong in the "bold takes" thread?
 
He’s dead to me. 1 goose egg I can forgive but multiple ones in a season ? No thanks. The traditional down weeks WERE worth the bump weeks but you just can’t be putting up zero points multiple times. Across 2 leagues I’ve started him 4 of those times. Luckily won 3 of those matches. He has gone from 2nd to 4th choice for the Bills. It’s done. Unstartable

He has been a very unique hit n miss, the ultimate Boom/Bust example in 2023

As many 20 pt games he's had, same if not more complete hole on your roster.
I argue that since he does this, many never get the riches when he does show up for one of his big games

Upthread I mentioned he is best in best ball leagues, only reason he is on my roster really. Taysom Hill would be another in that category.
 
Anyone else thinking of taking a big swing for the fences here?

You know…a “fortune favors the bold” kind of thing?

For context I am outgunned on paper v a 1 seed and Devonta Smith is looking shakier by the day as my WR2.

Hope you went and did this. Fair play. A valiant pick for an underdog to start
 
This guy is insane. He got me good here. Opponent had Pittman move out last minute and desperately plugged in Gabe. He is going to blow me out big time.
 
I get the frustration, I too am frustrated having him on my bench. I’m more frustrated with Allen than Gabe though. Gabe can’t help not being targeted by Allen. Both he and Diggs actually. It’s baffling.
 
I don’t care if he did blow up, I feel I made the right decision giving 3 goose eggs in four games.

Correct. If anyone did start him outside of any reason other than pure desperation I’d be questioning their thought making process tbh. Maybe as a huge underdog as detailed above. I sat him in one SF dynasty semi final which will absolutely screw me no doubt, because due to UK time I was asleep when Pittman was ruled out and Davis started his match. I then woke up in the middle of the night and started watching. Stupid hobby

Can't believe I am saying this but for dynasty, I am at the point where I hope he signs somewhere else. Chargers, Chiefs?

I really should have been a little bolder than just +0.
 
Anything to see here with his new landing spot in Jax? Haven’t seen him discussed much and he’s virtually free as a bench flier. Tough to trust him week in and week out but maybe Lawrence will give him some new life.

Probably same as with the Bills. Some big weeks where Lawrence connects with him on a deep ball or 2, he converts in the red zone but also weeks where he disappears. It just seems like who he is. Not the worst guy to take really late and throw in if you feel like you are a big underdog. But there is a world where Brian Thomas comes along slow and Lawrence develops a rapport with Davis. Slim chance but there is a chance.
